The former model also opens up about her passion for ocean life, her career, and her unusual moniker.

"I have always loved my name," she says.

"You couldn't really make fun of it because it is a month. If anything, now people don't believe it is my real name.

"I was born in January, and my sisters and I are all J-J -- and I love it."

Fair enough. Besides, we know better than to tease a gal who's got sharks on her side.
